My Reflection

IntroductionPupils give good response while doing the discussion. Even though they only managed to give response in word and phrase level.

Strengths:As a whole, the pupils managed to give response according to the sentence level with reasons. The pupils were enjoyed themselves during the lesson. It is because they really interested with the topic.

Weaknesses:Pupils really hard to communicate. They were shy to talk or give response in English. I'm trying really hard to make them understand. It felt so frustrating when I saw my pupils couldn't understand what I've been talking in front of the class. Might be, pupils scared of me, because my voice was quite loud.

2. Get pupils to talk about what they see in each picture from the textbook.

4. Get pupils to identify the first step. Bring pupils attention to the use of sequence connector 'first'.

5. Ask the pupils to read the text and match the instructions to given pictures. Get pupils to use sequence

connectors to write instructions.

My Reflection

INTRODUCTION:
This is the third topic in Year 4 textbook syllabus. I was hoping
that my student still remember 75% of the previous lesson .

STRENGTH:
For this topic, I use the textbook and wall chart. I am satisfied because they like the topic. I did drilling as well and I made a game
out of the activity.The pupils give positive responses every time I ask them questions.

WEAKNESSES:My pupils still weak in pronunciation. When I gave them
the exercise, they managed to answer verbally but I find out that they were hardly to say out the words with correction pronunciation. Most of my pupils came from rural village. Its really difficult for them to say the word properly.

WAYS TO IMPROVE:
Seeing that my objectives had almost failed me, I must remember that in
the future, I must drill them in the on the
pronunciation. Even though the materials were already there, but it still could not help me to help the pupils much.
